I may how found the issue. I think my freezer has an auto-defrost "feature". That will kill the frozen yeast. I'm running a test with a glass of water and then will put a coin on it to see if the coin moves down over time... Shoot! Guess I'm starting the frozen bank over again.

First, apologies for the long post. TL/DR at the bottom. I think I may be having issues with my frozen yeast bank. I started it a few months back and have built up a few strains before trying any of the vials. Three days ago I made a yeast starter and pulled a vial from the frozen bank. I took...

Guess I’m not missing anything. I think I’m going with the Cube. It’s a bit cheaper and I kind of like the old school oscilloscope look. And it’s got an EZBoil.

I’m looking to do 5 gal batches eBIAB with 220v 5500w full mash no spare. Is there much difference in performance and/or capabilities? The Cube uses an EZBoil and has 2 x 110v plugs and is a bit cheaper. The BrewCommander has a spiffy touch screen with single 110v and needs a separate 110v...

Can you estimate shipping to 80516?

Do you plan on a stainless steel version of the Short and Stocky?

Where in CO?

Is there a guide online here or elsewhere on how to build basically this type of controller? I don’t need anything fancy and if there is a guide I can follow I’d like to try it myself to save some money. Main goal is to not burn down the house or electrocute myself. [emoji4] I’ve looked at...

It’s more than I’m allowed to spend, unfortunately. It looks awesome though. Best of luck!

How much are you asking? And where in CO?

With the Ipb16 discontinued, does anyone know if Inkbird will replace it with a newer model or is it just gone?

Can you rotate the handle 180deg around like the hands of a clock face move so it is on the bottom? That would have it on the left and opening away from your kettle.

How often do you disassemble your NPT fittings to clean them on the hot side? Or other than the ball valve is that not really needed?

Thanks all for the feedback! Question on triclamps - I know they’re fancy and easier to clean, but are they worth the extra cost for homebrewing? I don’t have any experience with them or NPT. Is it very difficult to keep NPT sanitary?

Thanks augiedoggy for the feedback. I've looked into a number of different kettle options and how to get ports on them (Spike, B-B, SsBrewtech, Blichmann, Bayou Classic, Stout, etc.). Given the system I'd like to build with all the potential configurations the prices are pretty similar even...

I'm planning a DIY 10gal eBIAB setup and I'm looking at kettle options. I've been eyeing a custom 10gal Spike kettle (https://spikebrewing.com/pages/custom-kettles) since the start but I came across the 10gal Brew-Boss (https://www.brew-boss.com/product-p/kettle10.htm) and it is very similar to...

This is very similar to a set up I've been putting together on paper. I did not have the basket or steam slayer, though. Looking at prices I was figuring around $1700, so I'm guessing you're closer to $2000? Please update this thread as you go along. I'm very interested in your progress.
